“India will soon establish a defence wing at its High Commission in Suva, as part of a major step to bolster defence and security ties with Fiji.”

“The defence wing will be headed by a dedicated defence attaché who will also cover wider Pacific Island nations, further cementing Fiji’s status as a strategic partner for India in the Indo-Pacific.”

“India has also committed to strengthening Fiji’s maritime security, offering training, equipment, and cybersecurity assistance, including the establishment of a cybersecurity training cell in Fiji.”

“Mr Rabuka welcomed the security commitments and highlighted the importance of safeguarding Fiji’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), which spans over one million square kilometers of ocean.”
